THOSE GOVERNMENT LICENSES.
Mr.. Cromwell Declines to Show
Memoranda In His office.

Yesterday afternoon, with view to ascer
tanning to whom government licenses for re-
tail liquor sellers, had been issued in Port
land, City Marshal Hawkes., accompanied by
Deputy Marshal Crowell, paid visit to Mr..
VIM. A. Cromwell, deputy collector of in
ternal revenue, and asked to see the records
of his Office. The deputy collector told the
gentlemen that the only records he had con-
sisted of private memoranda Of the transac-
tions between himself and Collector Red
man. Acting under instructions from the
collector, Mr.. Cromwell declined to exhibit
the book in which the memoranda were en-
tered He added that the books in Collector
Redman's Office were open to inspection and
if the Portland officers wanted any informa-
tion they could get it by sending man to
Ellsworth to procure certified copy of the
record. \.
Marshal Hawkes. asked Mr.. Cromwell if
he took the same stand that Mr.. Murphy
did, and Mr.. Cromwell said that was his po-
sition exactly. The Marshall then added
that Mr.. Cromwell might find himself in
Murphy's present position. The Marshal
made the remark in fun but the Deputy Col
leetor took it in earnest and last evening
was contemplating the results of refusal to
testify in court. He said that he expected to
be summoned as a witness in case which
would come up for trial some time next
week, and should not be surprised to find
himself in Jail soon after.

NEW STEAMBOAT LINE.
Great Prospects Ahead for Bangor
Rumors OF a Line OF Steamers.

1t is said to be fact that a new steamboat
line is to be established this spring, TO run
between Bangor and Boston, probably, al
though 1t has not been announced what the
other point win be. Who the owners Of the
line will be, Is also unannounced as yet, but
1t Is rumored that the Fitchbarg railroad Ia
backing the movement. This Is only a ru-
NOR, however. Parties are now negotiating
for the lease ofthe Bar Harbor boat wharves,
for the business. The enlarging Of the store
houses there doubtless has some connection
with the matter. 1t Is learned upon good au-
thority that the parties interested are to visit
Bangor this week to complete the arrange
ments. This is an important enterprise and
means something to the merchants. 10 has
been intimated by the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners that 1t will not conflict with
the requirements Of the long and short haul
clause of the law il goods are shipped
by through bill OF lading from
Chicago to Bangor and Penobscot
river landings over the Fltchburg
Railroad and a steamboat line. at the same
price as from Chicago to Boston. Bangor
may yet have western freights cheaper than
ever before. One of the commanders sug-
gested for the new line is Charles Deering. a
steamboat man Of long experience In eastern
waters.

LAwLEssNEss IN OHIO.
A Guard Captured and a Reservoir
Destroyed.

TOLEDO, o., April 26-The lawless at
tempt to destroy the Paulding county reser-
vOir, was the resnlt of discomfort on the part
of the people at the maintenance of prac-
tically disused section of the canal The res
eryoir in dispute covers 1000 acres of ground.
1t was originally the valley of small stream
and was damned and diked to make reser-
voir. Last night a band of some 200 men,
residents of the county, proceeded to the
lower end of the reservoir, captured the
guards, who had been there since an attempt
at its destruction was made few weeks ago,
and proceeded systematically to destroy it.
The band worked-all night, cutting the dixie
with pick and spade, The volume of water
was thus largely reduced, though the reser-
voir is not entirely drained. The amount of
damage is estimated at $1,000. The people of
the county substantially unite in desiring
the destruction of the reservoir, because it
covers vast area of fine farming land, and
renders the entire region sickly. They will
give no information as to the men concerned
in the outrage. Fifty picked men of three
of the Toledo companies of the 10th regi-
ment, and the Toledo section of the 4th Ohio
MED by Adjt. Gen. Aiklin, left here this eve
ming for Antwerp, in response to the COVER
nor's orders. There is no likelihood Of an
armed collision
COLUMBUS, April 26-The Governor this
afternoon ordered the Toledo company of
the National Guard to the scene of the riot
at Paulding county reservoir. Information
in brief, as outlined to the governor, is that
200 masked men Overpowered the guards at
the reservoir last night, and b.ew up the
banks, saturated the lock and timber with
oil, and burned them. The guards were on
duty at the instance of the governor.

BASE BALL.

BATTING AND FIELDING AVERAGES.
The following figures give the batting and
fielding averages of the Portland nine in
thirteen exhibition games played this season.
The list comprises all the games played, with
two exceptions-one Of the Hamilton games,
the scole Of which could not be procured
and one Hartford game, which was called In
the fifth inning, and Of which no score was
printed. The batting average Is obtained by
dividing the number of hits by the number
of times at bat. In seasons past when a
man got his base ON balls he was not reck-
oned 'at bat" Now he is not only reckoned
''at bat" but the pitchers short-coming is
scored base hit, so quite change is
brought about in getting at averages. The
idea some Of the papers have got into Of
scoring as they please, and not by the rules,
renders it difficult to give an average Of the
actual batting as in some places base on
balls is reckoned in the hit column and some
not. To give an idea Of the proportion Of
actual hitting the following table Is pre-
pared, showing the number Of hits with
totals, made, and the number of them that
were bases on balls. The column Of hits in
cludes the bases on balls, and to get the
actual hits the latter must be subtracted;

THE MAYFLowER's RIVAL.
Launch of the ThIstIe-DescrIption Of
the Craft.

LONDON, April 26--Mr. Bells racing cut
ter Thistle, which is to go to America to
compete for the America S cup, was launched
this morning. The spectators were favora-
bly, impressed with her appearance. She
was launched quietly, and was at once towed
to Gourock, three miles west of Greenock, on
the Clyde. She displays considerable over
hang of both stem and stern. Her sails will
be carried well forward and her mast win be
stepped nearer to the stern than is custom
ary. Her mainsail will be immense. Her
deck is very much like the Majorie's. Her
bowsprit will be of Cannon iror fitted to
the stem head, and therefore her big spar
will be right amidships. The Thistle will
cross the Atlantic as yawl, but when rae
ing she will be cutter rigged
The Thistle is constructed mainly of steel
with clipper bow. Her figure head repre-
sents Thistle Her dimensions are as fol-
lows: Length over load water line, So feet I;
breadth, 20 feet inches; depth of hold, IA
feet / inch. The tonnage register is 1905.
The Thistle has flare which is expected to
be great advantage in standing an enor-
nous press of canvas. The has a clipper
stem with considerable overhang of stem
and stern, promising to allow an exception
ally large mainsail. Her stern post shows a
good rake, and admits easy quarters and a
clean run. Her enormous Spars and great
area of canvas have required very powerful
lines in the hull with exceptional strength in
internal fittings. The hull up to the cover
ing boards is plated with Siemens Martin
steel. The lower plates are three-fourths of
an inch thick, and the upper five-sixteenths
thick The frames are tied by steel diagonal
stringers to the kelson and the flooring
forming securest network. The rigging is
strengthened by perforated bracket frames
and plate frames have been used forward to
prevent parting in rough weather Partial
bulkheads and forward collision bulkheads
add strength for ocean racing. There are
steel plates under the covering board with
yellow pine beams and diagonal stringers to
support the yellow pine decks, which show
narrower planks than usual. The sweep Of
the deck is easy. The covering boards of the
deck fitting are of teak and are designed to
permit the greatest amount of deck room for
working the heavy gear. The bowsprit is of
Cannon iron and is fitted to the stem head,
SO the big spar will be right amidship. 1t
Will be secured by bobstay of steel rod in
stead OF chain: The public was excluded from
the launch. Just as the vessel cleared the
wharf she stuck fast owing to the blocks of
wood which the workmen had omitted to re-
move. There was general dismay until the
men put out in boats, dislodged the. blocks
and got the yacht atioat by means Of wind
lasses. The vessel was finally launched
amid cheers from those on board, the others
on the shore giving cheers for the
YANKEES" When crossing the Atlantic the
Thistle will carry a cruising mainsail and a
South End to Harwich, in the Thames
Yacht Club match on May 2Sth. Captain
Brown, who won the Queens cup with the
Alevia, will command the Thistle.

Arrangements are being made to start a CO.

all they will have to do is to hire rooms and
open for business. They haye a, monopoly
OF the business, and are satisfied that manu-
facturers cannot go to Castle Garden and fill
their places. A letter was sent te Tiffany &
Co. Monday, offering to send men enough to
finish the silver memorial hatchet which is
to be sent to Gladstone, free of expense to
the firm. No answer was received. Tie
men state that they learn that there is a
movement on foot among manufacturers to
organize in other trades all over the country
to fight labor organizations, and that the
Whiting Manufacturing Company intends to
have some of the men arrested who went on
strike. The walking delegate of the union
said that the trouble would not be settled
through committee, as after such a settle

effected through a representative of the

One Seriously If Not Fatally Injured.

JEFFERSON CITY. NO., April 26.-Ex-Su-
preme Judge John w. Henry and State Au-
ditor Walker had an alteration on the street
today, in which Judge Henry was shot once
in the right arm and again in the breast, and
Walker was severely cut in the head by
blow from Judge Henry's cane. Both men
are now in charge of physicians.
Tbe affair grew out of late investigation
OF Auditor Walker by the legislative COM
mittee. Walker accused Judge Henry of
talking about him with a view of injuring
him and took strong exceptions to the Judges
testimony bofore the committee. Judge
Henry replied he had told nothing but the
truth whereupon Walker in very profare and
emphatic language called him liar. Judge
Henry then struck Walker over the head
with his cane and Walker whipped out a
pistol and fired at him. The ball entered the
palm of the Judges left hand, passed up his
arm just under the skin to near the elbow
where it came out, crossed his breast and
lodged in the breast bone. The wound is
severe and may be dangerous one. Walker
got a blow on the left temple cutting long
cash and is now suffering from nervous pros
tration, palpitation of the heart and numb
ness of the left side, but the doctors say he
will be all right in few days. Both are old
men and Judge Henry is quite feeble.
